As the founding family of Stemilt, we’ve been farming apples, pears, and cherries in eastern Washington since the early 1900’s. In fact, we still have orchards located on the same grounds that our ancestors homesteaded back in 1893. For our family, growing fruit is a passion that continues through our fifth generation.
